EMBLEMA CXXVI.
Parem delinquentis & suasoris cul-
pam esse.
The one who urges wrongdoing is as guilty as the one who does the wrong
Praeconem lituo perflantem classica victrix
Captivum in tetro carcere turma tenet.
Queis ille excusat, quòd nec sit strenuus armis,
Ullius aut saevo laeserit ense latus.
Hinc illi, Quin ipse magis timidissime peccas,
Qui clangore alios aeris in arma cies.[1]
The victorious troop holds captive in a foul dungeon a herald, who sounds military commands on his trumpet. To them he makes his excuses - he is no strong fighting man and has wounded no one’s side with a cruel sword. They reply: You abject coward, you are in fact more guilty, for you with the sound of your trumpet stir up others to fight.

Das CXXVI.
Es ist der Häler wie der Stäler.[2]
Dem sigenden hauffen in dhand
Kam und ward geworffen in die Band
Der Trommeter so in dem Feld
Sein Trommen und Posaun erschelt
Gen welchem er sich so entschüt
Das er gestritten habe nit
Noch niemand mit den Waffen sein
Beschedigt oder bracht ein pein:
Dem gabens wider diese sag
Drumb hastu mehr gsündigt du zag
Dann du mit deinr Trommeten schall
Die andern zum streit greitzt hast all.

Ex bello pax.
Peace succeeding to war
En galea, intrepidus quam miles gesserat: & quae
Saepius hostili sparsa cruore fuit.
Parta pace apibus tenuis concessit in usum
Alveoli: atque favos grataque mella gerit.
Arma procul iaceant: fas sit tunc sumere bellum:
Quando aliter pacis non potes arte frui.[1]
See here a helmet which a fearless soldier previously wore and which was often spattered with enemy blood. After peace was won, it retired to be used as a narrow hive for bees; it holds honey-combs and nice honey. - Let weapons lie far off; let it be right to embark on war only when you cannot in any other way enjoy the art of peace.
1. Cf. Anthologia graeca, 6.236, where bees nest in what were once the beaks (projections at the prow) of war-galleys.
